Letters Patent No. 99,563, dated February 8, 187).

* -mak- The Schedule referre'd to in these Letters Patent and making part of tbe same To all whom 'it may concern:

It consists in certain peculiarities of construction,

which will be fully described hereinafter.

In the drawings- Figure l represents a side elevation of the heel, with one side of the pitman-head out olf, and

Figure 2, a side elevation of the heel and pitman, as connected, ready for use.

A rcpresents one end of a. cutter-bar, which may be i constructed in any proper' manner.

B represents the heel or shank, which is constructed in two parts, l) b1, hinged together, as shown= 'Ihe part b, it will be observed, is securely attached to the bar A, but the part b1 is free to swing upon its pivot, and opens to 'receive the rod c of the slotted pitman-head C, which rod rests in the orifice b2 in the head B.

It will also be observed that one-half of the orifice b2 is formed in each part of the head, and that the part b1 swings'over the part b in such manner as to permit the orifice to be made slightly larger or smaller at will, by pressing 'the former more or less tightly upon this latter. 'Io regulate this adjustment, I provide a set-screw, I), which passes through an orifice in the projection Aba of the part b, into the bar A, by means of which the part b1 is drawn more or less closely to the part l). v

The operation is as follows:

lThen itis desired to connect the pitman with the cutter-bar, the part b1 of the heel is raised, the screw Dl beingr removed, and the rod c is placed in the lower half of the orifice b2.

The part 'b1 is now placed in its former position, and brought down by the screw D until the rod c is properly held.

The machine is now ready for use, and as the bearing-parts become worn, they may be brought nearer together by simply turning the screw I).

The described device is simple iu all its parts, and readily permits attachment or detachment, and also the adjustment ot' the parts liable to become worn by use.

Having thus fully described my invention,

i/Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by .l'jetters Patent, is

The device described, consisting of the bar A, heel B, and pitman C, when constructed as described, for the purpose set forth. l

This speciication signed and witnessed, this 31st day of December, 1865).

WILLIAM GREEN.
